Ok small update on my mothers machine... the bobbin switch moves now! fairly easily ( a lot better then it did before anyways) however if i push it all the way to the left, where i assume its supposed to sit by default when its being wound, its still hard to push... but once i move it away from the edge it moves a lot smoother. Also i cant seem to get the stitch plate back on. it kind of "shot" off of the little metal bar that holds it in place and now i cant seem to get it on. i guess if i gently wedge something underneath and push the plate in it might catch again. I'll try oiling the moving bits again with some triflow now that i have it and see if that helps at all.
